On the economic level Britain fears that an old paper project for a customs union among West Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg soon might become a working reality. It undoubtedly would be domi- nated by the booming industries of West Germany to the gradual exclusion of British goods. The proposed free trade area would be open to Commonwealth goods and would provide sources of new capital for the countries of the Commonwealth and colonies whose hunger for investment the British are unable to satisfy. On the political level the project would serve to lessen the depend- ence both of Britain and West Europe on the Unitec: States. This aspiration has become al- most a fixation with some British and French policy makers. They argue privately that the Suez crisis has shown American support cannot be counted on in election years even when vital Al- lied interests are at stake. Members of the free trade area would be Britain and the six coun- tries negotiating the customs union plus Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Austria and Switzerland.

World News Roundup By The Associated Press BELGRADE -- Yugoslav polit- ical circles indicated yesterday Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union will remain deadlocked on their major differences after the cur- rent talks between President Tito and Soviet leaders at Yalta, No one in Belgrade wanted to comment officially. But usually reliable sources privately reported difficulties in the Soviet-Yugoslav talks. These sources say the Russian leaders are unwilling to continue the de-Stalinization policy in sat- ellite countries. Yugoslavia is reported insisting on continued de-Stalinization as a condition for re-establishment of Communist party relations be- tween Yugoslavia and the satel- lite countries. .* * * BLACKPOOL, England - Left- ist Aneuran Bevan, newly restored to top ranks of the Labor Party, indicated yesterday he is ready for a truce in his feud with party leader Hugh Gaitskell. But observ- ers predicted it would not last long. CAIRO--Egypt's official spokes- man yesterday accused French Foreign Minister Christian Pineau of conducting a campaign of lies against his country.I Abdel Kader Hatem, director general of the Egyptian Informa- tion Department, denied Pineau's charge at a Caracas, Venezuela, news conference that the chief of Suez Canal traffic at Port Said. is a Russian officer. Hatem's statement said Pineau had "resumed his campaign of accusations" against Egypt "to lure world public opinion." * * * CINCINNATI-Cheering United Mine Workers yesterday received and ratified a new one-year con- tract with the Bituminous Coal Operators Assn. which would give them an increase of $2.40 a day in wages and other benfits. Committee On Lectures Student Government Council last night voted to study the University Lecture Committee. The motion, proposed by Council member Tom Sawyer, '58, provides that a committee of four students, at least three from SGC, study and gather facts on the Lecture Com- mittee and Regents' Bylaw re- garding outside speakers. The committee will report their findings back to the Council by Oct. 17 and will at that time recommend possible action. According to Sawyer, investiga- tion of the Lecture Committee dates back to 1950. Many com- plaints lodged against the com- mittee are caused by misunder- standing and lack of education on the part of students, he said. The aim of the study will be clarifica- tion and possible modification of existing regulations. The Council approved appoint- ments to Joint Judiciary Coun- cil. Those appointed were Herb Wander, '57, until May, 1957 and Bob Knauss, '59L, until January, 1957. Campus Chest Board reported back to the Council and agreed to hold the first Campus Chest drive in the spring. The drive is tenta- tively scheduled for May 5-11. According to Council member Rod Comstock, '57E, the drive will probably not be complete, because Campus Chest was unable to merge with the Ann Arbor Community; Chest this year. The drive will be primarily aimed at students, al-' though there will be solicitations. from some State Street merchants and faculty members, Comstock said. In other action, SGC voted to1 co-sponsor United Nations WeekI with the International Studentt Association. The UN Week pro-1 gram, scheduled for Oct. 21-26, will consist of a dinner, a debate on whether the UN is a success or a failure and two speakers. SGC also heard reports on out- of-order registration passes, the "M" Handbook and Cinema Guild.1 SAE Flies f Nazi Flag The President of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity declined to com- ment last night on the flood of calls to city' police concerning a large Nazi swastika flag recently1 flown from a window of the house.t The flag, a black German swas- tika figure on a red field was put up by a member of the fraternity2 from the window of his room. Assistant Dean of Men Johne Bingley was notified by police de-e tectives of the complaints of indig- nant citizens, and ordered the Nazi insignia removed immediately. A patrolman passing the house later reported the flag still flying,I and called the station. Dean Bing-c ley was called again, and the flag a came down. 1 Proposes Alternatives For National in pointing to statements made by the Vice-President concerning the Korean War. "Nixon called the Korean war 'Truman's War' and talked of "Truman - Acheson Stumblebum Policies," Sexton went on. But he later boasted that "three times, during World War One, World War Two, and during the Korean War we sent troops over- seas to help other men keep their freedom. "This sort of contradiction is characteristic of Dick Nixon," he said, "characteristic of the man who can speak of a four-day week on one day, and then, when pinned down, claim that 'no mere artific- ial legislation can bring it about.' "Frankly, Sexton said, "I don't know what artificial legislation is, let alone mere artificial legisla- tion." Turning to the Michigan Repub.. licans, Sexton asserted that "Ari- zona Al (Cobo) was elected, mayor of Detroit because he was low enough to conduct an anti-Negro campaign." 'Deeply Significant' He cited as a "deeply signifi- cant" the fact that "one of the very few Negroes the Republican party has ever nominated as a candidate for the House of Repre- sentatives was chosen in Detroit's 13th District, where another Ne- gro was already the incumbent." Sexton further illustrated what he called "the small 'd' democracy of the Democratic party "by noting that the only Jewish members of the Senate were Democrats, and that the only Catholic candidate for the Presidency, Al Smith, was also a Democrat. 'Man With -Ski' "Until recently," he said, "a man with -ski on the end of his name didn't have a chance in the Re- publican party." It was here in Michigan that they finally had to hunt for such a man in order to win, only to find that once he was located, he turned out to be a Presbyterian." the United States," he said, -Daily-Harding williams PRE-ELECTION CHAT - Peter Darrow, County Democratio. caanpaign chairman, and Brendan Sexton, Educational Director. of the United Auto Workers, discuss the coming election after last night's Young Democrats meeting in the League. Sexton Speaks To Dems, Denounces Nixon Cobo By ALLAN STILLWAGON "Whatever else is said of the Dempocratic Party, it is the only party representative of all American society," Brendan Sexton told a University Young Democrats' meeting last night. Sexton, educational director of the United Auto Workers, listed reasons why he supports the Democratic party, "although I am not a 'regular' Democrat." Attacking what he repeatedly termed "Republican irresponsibity," Sexton leveled his sharpest remarks at Vice-president Richard M. Nixon and Republican gubernatorial candidate Albert E. Cobo. 'Shabby Person' "Nixon is a shabby person who should not be holding high office Vote Sets If Found Conditions Guilty' Douglas Will Speak Today Sen. Paul H. Douglas (D.-Ill.) will speak at the Union Ballroom at 2:10 p.m. today, according to Bill Peer, '57, president of the Uni- versity Young Democrats. Sen. Douglas will be introduced by Prof. Morris Janowitz of the sociology dept., candidate for elec- tion to the State House of Repre- sentatives from Washtenaw coun- ty's First District. He is scheduled to arrive at Wil- low Run Airport at 1:1 p.m. from Traverse City, and will be escorted by YD officers to the Union. The Senator is expected to arrive there at 1:45 p.m.. Once professor of economics at the University of Chicago, Sen. Douglas was supported strongly By TAMMY MORRISON After more than an hour of de- bate, Student Government Coun- cil last night voted 10 to 5 in favor of a policy statement con- cerning Sigma Kappa sorority. The statement reads: "If the Sigma Kappa National sorority is found to have violated student reg- ulations pertaining to require- ments for recognition, these courses of action may be open to that National: "1) Reinstatement of the two suspended chapters and a clari- fication of their position. "2) Disaffiliation of the local chapter from the National and its continuation as a local sorority. 'On Same Basis' "Further, it is our opinion that rushees should consider the local chapter on the same basis as other sororities on the University of Michigan campus, and if questions exist as to Sigma Kappa's status or membership policy, they should consult the chairman of Panhel- lenic rushing counsellors, Dianne Duncan." The statement was originally presented to the Council early in the meeting by President Bill Adams, '57BAd as an expression of the views of a committee set up last week to investigate Sigma Kappa's status. The committee, cosnsisting of A d a m s, Vice-President Janet Neary, '58, Treasurer Joe Collins, '58 and Panhel President Carol de Bruin, '57, was requested to pre- sent a formal report at the Oct. 10 meeting. In response to requests to clear the air before rushing is over to- morrow, the committee decided to Roll Call Following is a breakdown of last night's vote on SGC's pol- icy statement concerning Sigma Kappa sorority. Those voting "Aye:" Adams, Collins, de Bruin, Engman, Neary, Sawyer, Snyder, War- rick, Scruggs and Woodard. Those voting "Nay:" Arnold, Comstock, Good, Lave and Shorr. Those absent: Leedy, Wrona and Gullette. make a statement concerning pos- sible alternatives open to Sigma Kappa's National. The statement in no way committed the Council or the National to a prescribed course of action, Adams said. Whole Views? Later on in the meeting, Coun- cil Member Tom Sawyer, '58, asked. if the statements were to be re- garded as the views of the Council as a whole, or just the study com- mittee. After some debate, the Council decided that if the statement were to have the body's approval, it must be voted upon. Miss Neary moved that the Council accept the statement. Conflict and debate centered around the statement's clarity, or lack of it. Three amendments were defeated. Several Council members felt that the statement implied an unproven guilt on the part of the National, and for this reason was unfair. 10 to 5 Vote mnctrav - a i"ua a irl TO SING PUCCINI, VERDI: Nelli,' Turner To Open Series Today r c t t t f Two Metropolitan Opera stars will open the University Choral Union Series at 8:30 p.m. tonight in Hill Auditorium.
